Ruling by fiat

Are those the criteria on which you judge people?

I am not trolling. You need to back up your personal attacks with evidence or else they are not true.

"You need to back up your personal attacks with evidence or else they are not true."

Interesting, novel logic.

1. MMM is a fine person.
2. I have no evidence for (1).
3. Therefore, (1) is not true.

No, but since Duchess judges people based on that criteria, I would like to know her stats.

btw, its stupendous that you and Duchess ignored my post that suggests that Kilgore actually does not admire Hitler. And you both have the audacity to call me dishonest...

It helps to understand your beliefs about the logic of argumentation. Thanks.

I can do fine on my own, and don't need your advice on anything. You have totally hijacked a thread, on the President by fiat creating law, outside of his Constitutional authority, and turned it into a vendetta against MMM, KilgoreTrout, and me.

Give it a break from dredging up stuff from other threads, and argue this one.

Actually, a conclusion backed up with evidence is logical argumentation.

The bare assertion is not.

I didn't see it until I went back to review all the posts. I tend to assume that posters here are who they say they are and that they signal it when they are not sincere. Based on that, I have to regard KT's ambivalence to be genuine -- perhaps it reflects a personal ideology that is transitional over time, and if it drifts around, we'd have a lot more work to do to see what triggers the drift from one side to the other.

So [/stupendous]

"If you are a racist, then just say so rather than keep dancing around it."

And if we are not? Should we confess to soften your allegations?
